Savannah Guthrie's Mom Still Missing: Sheriff 'Positive' Case Will Be Solved After Seven Months

It has been over seven months since Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today show cohost Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona. On January 31, 2026, police found evidence of a targeted kidnapping, including footage of a suspect in a ski mask. Despite a massive investigation, a $1 million reward from the Guthrie family, and the involvement of the FBI, no arrests have been made as of late July 2026.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos recently told reporters he remains optimistic, stating they have“so much in terms of video evidence”and DNA to process.“I’m still positive that we are going to resolve this case,”he said. However, the investigation has been strained by public disagreements between the sheriff’s department and the FBI over how evidence has been handled. Savannah Guthrie returned to the Today show in April after taking a leave of absence, but she has continued to make emotional appeals for her mother’s safe return, saying,“We need to know where she is. We need her to come home.”

The case has gripped the nation, blending a beloved celebrity family with a real-life true crime mystery. With no clear motive or suspect named, the search continues. Do you think this high-profile case will finally get the breakthrough it needs? Let us know in the comments.
